Mother's Day for Missing Mothers 2012

You have always been where we return,

The home that is our harbor from the sea,

The place where what we are can easy be,

With nothing we need alter or unlearn.

That you would give has always been a given.

Your love for us is something simply there,

As plain and necessary as the air,

And just as unpretentious and unbidden.

And though I cannot give you now your due,

Which is beyond what these poor words can say,

I give you all I can this special day,

Which is the treasure of my love for you.
